Cattleya percivaliana f. semialba

A highly prized color form of this classic species originating from the mountainous regions of South America, this robust epiphyte features a reliable and upright growth habit. It yields magnificent, medium-sized blossoms during the late autumn and winter seasons, producing flowers that boast pristine white segments contrasted by an exceptionally rich, heavily detailed lip.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the compact foliage.
• Temperature: 59–79°F (15–26°C); an intermediate grower that adapts beautifully to stable greenhouse or indoor conditions.
• Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity encourages vigorous vegetative growth and prolific flowering.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; never allow the roots to remain waterlogged.

Additional Notes

This compact orchid performs wonderfully when nestled into a fast-draining, coarse bark mix inside a well-ventilated pot to accommodate its mid-sized growth and prominent blooms. It ships bare root and well established, and it should be gently rehydrated at an intermediate temperature prior to potting upon arrival.
